AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoUS-Iran Negotiations: US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf arrived in Switzerland for technical talks to implement the Islamabad MoU, with Pakistan and Qatar mediating and Lebanon plus Iran’s nuclear program on the agenda. Strait of Hormuz Tensions: Iran says it has closed Hormuz again over alleged ceasefire violations tied to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, while the US disputes the claim and says traffic continues—raising fresh uncertainty for oil markets and the MoU’s 60-day toll-free framework. Lebanon and Gaza Fallout: Israeli strikes continued despite ceasefire efforts, including reported deaths in Gaza (including children and an Al Jazeera cameraman) and renewed pressure in Lebanon that threatens to derail diplomacy. Domestic Politics and Public Mood: A poll finds Israelis overwhelmingly believe Iran “won” the war and that Netanyahu’s handling is failing, while Americans remain broadly unhappy with Trump’s Iran approach. Regional Diplomacy and Trade: Turkey’s foreign minister met in Cairo with Egypt and Saudi Arabia as the US engages on wider regional files like Libya; separately, the UK moved to deepen trade with Türkiye. Humanitarian/Displacement: Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif and army chief Asim Munir also traveled to Switzerland for MoU implementation talks, while the Philippines ordered an extra P3 billion for OFW repatriation after Middle East conflict displacement.
